Check Out the First Clip from Mickey Keating’s ‘Psychopaths’

Mickey Keating has been carving out a nice genre groove over the last few years. While he hasn’t hit a homerun with every at bat, his flicks Ritual, Pod and Darling are all extremely entertaining, well-made flicks. And now, Mickey’s back with what could be another winner: Psychopaths.

The first clip from the film is now officially available to check out, and it looks mighty promising. You can get a look at that clip directly below.

…I wanted to make Psychopaths ultra-glamorous, and really colorful. All about composition and camera-movement as much as it’s about the characters. We looked to movies like Dressed To Kill, Beyond The Valley Of The Dolls, Enter The Void – those kinds of really beautiful, hyper-stylized, colorful movies. The script is super violent and super blunt, so I wanted to make sure my cast understood it’s not going to be just another exploitation flick, or B-Movie.

There are parts of Psychopaths that I wanted to look like Paul Schrader’s Hardcore. I lifted lighting techniques from that, and Graham Skipper plays the owner of a club who looks like he should be beaten up by George C. Scott.

And here’s the pic’s synopsis:

Set over the course of a single night, this psychedelic fever dream features an ensemble of maniacal characters, all interconnected by a series of violent coincidences and chance encounters. Part neo-noir, part slasher film, PSYCHOPATHS follows the soul of a recently executed serial killer, as it descends back to earth and possesses his many followers beneath the full moon.
